Key of Awesome - Modern Monster Mash

Are the police out of control?

newtboy says...

Crab fisherman, among dozens and dozens of others. Being a cop is less dangerous than many many jobs not considered 'dangerous', but because cops complain and whine so much, most people would believe being a cop is the most dangerous job out there. Statistics say it's no where close.
EDIT:The 10 Deadliest Jobs:
1. Logging workers
2. Fishers and related fishing workers
3. Aircraft pilot and flight engineers
4. Roofers
5. Structural iron and steel workers
6. Refuse and recyclable material collectors
7. Electrical power-line installers and repairers
8. Drivers/sales workers and truck drivers
9. Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers
10. Construction laborers
(notice anything missing there?)

There are more unpredictable dangerous situations to be dealt with in MANY other professions. It's not a lack of preparation that kills crab fishermen, it's the unpredictability of the ocean. It MAY be true (can't find statistics) that cops are more likely to be attacked by a human than most other professions, that doesn't make it more dangerous or unpredictable than other unavoidable, unpredictable dangers in other jobs.

Far more civilians are killed by cops than cops are killed by civilians. (This means your assumption/assertion that civilians can assume cops won't kill them, but cops can assume civilians will kill them is ridiculously wrong and backwards.) Last year, 111 cops died in the line of duty, of those, only 39 were 'killed' (as in homicide, 33 by firearms), the rest were all accidental. In that time, cops intentionally killed 316 civilians (that number also does not include 'accidental' deaths). That's almost a 10-1 ratio where it's 10 times more likely that a cop will be a killer than be killed.

It is no longer a minority of cops that perceive threats everywhere and 'take things too far' before they become actual threats. If citizens did this, they go to jail. Cops should not be above the law in any way.

I agree with 'cops should be on camera 100% of the time they're being cops (which is all the time, so includes at home, if they're armed there). It may not have avoided or minimized the Brown case though, it may easily have proven he was shot at and executed as he surrendered, adding fuel to the fire.

PS dangerous and hazardous are synonyms.
PPS. It's @newtboy....one word.

@newt boy: Out of curiosity, what jobs (outside of the military) are more dangerous than being a cop? There are certainly hazardous jobs out there, like repairing electric lines, but those are mostly predictable. With sufficient preparation and training, risks can be calculated and minimized. Being a cop, on the other hand, forces you to deal with completely unpredictable situations. A routine traffic stop can be a harmless affair or it can end with you being shot or stabbed to death. Cops bear the burden of risk when dealing with the public. Civilians can generally assume that cops aren't going to try to kill them. Cops can't make that same assumption. Their position of authority and responsibility to enforce the law puts them in an inherently antagonistic position. People don't like being told what to do and they definitely don't like being punished for not doing it. It's no surprise then that cops tend to be wary and defensive when doing their job. Some cops (the minority) simply take this too far and try to neutralize perceived threats before they become actual threats.

The ideal solution is to have all cops wear cameras while on duty. That way, there's objective footage of all their interactions, violent or otherwise. If Darren Wilson had been wearing a camera, the whole Brown debacle could have been avoided or at least minimized.

Iraq Explained -- ISIS, Syria and War

spawnflagger says...

So why are Sunni and Shia fighting? a few hundred years ago, there was an argument about whether or not a non-direct relative of Mohammad could become leader.

This conflict is not simply about religion, it's also about these smaller militia groups grabbing land/money/power.

The video failed to mention that the centrally elected government in Iraq never had any real control over the Kurds (Kurdistan) in the north, which were (and still are) a self-governing state.

quagmire is an apt one-word description, used a lot around 2002. without the giggity-giggity, of course.

Randomly Paired People Slap Each Other

Payback says...

I would fail. I couldn't bring myself to hit a woman. In any circumstance. (especially not the blonde in the TN, rowr!)

In the course of my business, I got involved with an employee's problem with a drunk. He was much smaller than me, but got in a sucker punch while I was turned away from him. He was obviously hoping for a glass jaw, but mine is more like a cinder brick, only heavier. Anyways, he just pissed me off. He was flitting around, connecting, breaking skin a couple times, but no real power so it was just annoying. I finally connected -once- and he went down. Then two girls from his group grabbed onto me (ugly skanks so it wasn't remotely fun) and he ran off. They were scratching at me, kicking, and then one started to -without one word of a lie- try to burn me with her cigarette lighter. I still didn't hit either one. I wasn't brought up that way. I was finally able to push them far enough away and threatening to pound them kept them away.

It might be different if the female in question had a weapon, knife or club, and was intent on killing me, but anyplace where I could handle the damage, and knowing I could do seriously outclassed damage to them? No, I'd just take it.

One word....
Chlorodane.

EPA can't prove it causes a substantial risk of cancer in humans and it kills everything for 20+years. US still manufactures it for export, banned since 88', but they'll let Monsanto do what the fuck it wants to litigate humans out of what they can grow and what they can or can't use to kill weeds or bugs? Retarded to let it stand.

White Girlfriend in Harlem Barbershop

newtboy says...

But didn't people use all those other words in the piece, just not 'racist'? Perhaps not, I don't have time to watch it again right now.
EDIT: OK, not exactly those, but many loaded words were used that were definitely intended to be offensive, like 'you're not a woman, your a bird, get out of here birdy'.
I understand your point, but since many weren't worried about the words they used or how the offender would take them, it seemed wrong that they excluded that one word that described her behavior exactly.
I just saw it as the norm, where 'people of color' can't possibly be 'racist', so we call them something else. That bothers me. Just look at the comment above...I find the sentiment not only stupid and short sighted, but absolutely wrong. Simply because a majority of racism went in one direction does not mean it's a one way street.
If you discriminate against a person based on their race, you are racist. Period. If you think your race somehow absolves you of that character flaw, you're a racist idiot.
I'll try to ignore the unfounded, unexplained, anti-race mixing racist sentiment directly above, it's not deserving of response IMO, only ridicule.

SquidCap said:

That's because if you're a racist you are being ignorant but the latter word does not carry hundreds of years of pain. Words that also fit the bill, stupid, idiot, hateful.. All of those are loaded words that WILL cause the offending person to take even more a defensive stance..

I didn't understand one word, but man, that was one hell of a call. I absolutely loved the enthusiasm.

If you can't get excited over your favorite sport, then when the crap can you get excited about in this world?

Let's Play 'Is it Racist'?!

chingalera says...

Agreed, Payback. The shell-shock of newsspeak and race-baiting, media manipulation and fear-mongering caused this woman to go into shock while in the presence of a black man, probably because she lives insulated from their culture in some all-white sanctuary. She's no more developmentally-disabled that 85-90% of the entire Population of America.

Part of her initial association-reaction may have come from having seen zombie after zombie in film with dirt all over their faces or that deep-blue hue of necrotic flesh.

OR, her 1st zombie film (like mine) was George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, in which the first zombie of the film to take a heinous bite out of that persons shoulder, was a blackman zombie with a giant afro. That shit fucked me UP when I was 12!
I will never forget that brother....best zombie film still, ever made.


To cry "racist" from the utterance of one word is quite a stretch and usually denotes a lack of critical thinking capability of the user. Racism is a convenient label for assholes who think their shit does not stink, ESPECIALLY coming from an American.
Not accusing you of being an American or an asshole Gunter, but that kind of quip reminds me of the type of shit dick-berries from UC Berkeley would say, the ones who can find racism in a bowl of clam chowder.

Kids React to Controversial Cheerios Commercial

poolcleaner says...

One word: mulatto

OH MY GOD MULATTOS ATTACK! SAVE YOUR CULTURAL VALUES! SAVE YOUR JEW SAVIOR! SAVE YOUR PRIOR ADDICTION TO SLAVERY! PUT UP THE WALLS!

But seriously, if we build REALLY tall walls -- and I mean, like totally totally tall (in the mall), we keep darker creature human things outside AND we block out the sun so we don't get cancer on our weak, racially inferior skin.

Oh I'm sorry, did I just call white people racially inferior? That's actually what bugs me about this video. The white wife. Fuck that bitch.

I mean, don't fuck her, unless she's on the pill. That way you don't create the abomination called the mulatto.

Seriously. I'm not joking. Ban me. Just kidding. Don't ban me. But I'm not joking about the other thing. Except the Jew Savior part. I like jews. they're BASICALLY white. Oh wait, no, I hate white people. Crackers.

Russell Brand on MSNBC Mocking Media

CreamK says...

Maybe it's too fast and complex for you.. Yeah, he uses posh words and rare terms but that's just one part of the act. It's a really nice twist on the other wise dumped down comedy. You compare a british and murikan cursing and the vocabulary is highly in the favor of the old UK punk...

Another good brit comedian is Tim Minchin, he has great vocabulary and some form of grace in his way of relaying information to another humanbeing. Both fellows makes people think and i like that.

As non-native english speaker, i enjoy good set of new words... Sometimes i wonder why 99,999% of the stuff i see on tv uses a lot of same words over and over to explain something that could be described with one word more accurately.
